help request Kick drum trigger overlapping

Hello! I’ve used Reaper for well over a year at this point, but wanted to get more into the MIDI side of things. I got my Roland TM2 drum module plugged into Reaper and all was well in the setup, until it came time to play

Absolute nightmare. Even when playing simple 8th notes, some notes would randomly skip, but the midi note is still registered. If I played long enough, the pitch of my sample would drop, despite it staying the same C2 note on the piano roll???

After about 4 hours of troubleshooting, i would guess it’d has to do with sample overlapping. My main question is? How could I make every single midi note I play be very quick. I mean, I’m playing a kick drum. I don’t exactly need it to sustain lol

My secondary question would be, has anyone got any other possible solutions? This seems to be one of those problems where no one on the internet has had to deal with, so if anyone has any advice I would greatly appreciate it

Thank you!!
